I call you back to the place beside me.

So I have been getting all caught up on the “Lost” dvds. I just finished season 1 last night, and let me tell you, I am super excited to start on season 2. I will say that the cliffhangers get a bit annoying, but it’s a great story line that has kept me entertained through the whole thing.

Reality is really starting to set in about that fact that my close friends Olivia and Josiah are moving in a few days. I am seriously going to miss them. At the same time, I am excited about their future, and truthfully, it gives me hope for my own. Some day, I will be with the one I love and pursuing my life’s dream!

Mark, Sean and I started a new song last night. I really like our initial progression. I think we need to figure out a more structured way of writing, so we can get these parts together, but I am super excited about our start. I must admit, my head was not in the game last night. I drank an Old Guardian from Stone Brewery on an empty stomach and it went to my head a bit…haha.

Wow, what a nice long weekend! It was great seeing my friends Chris and Thomas. They are such awesome guys. We all got together and had a few beers on Friday night which was a blast. The night ended with Chris and I covered in sharpie marker and I had a "confederate" mustache.…haha. It’s nice to let loose every once and a while.

In other news, there is this girl named Bethany that I have liked for a few years now. I am not sure if it was my own self-esteem, or being afraid of the fact that she lives in Ohio, but I never told her. Yesterday, I finally sat down and wrote her a letter explaining my feelings. I put it in the mail box this morning, and I am super nervous about it, but I couldn’t go on any more with out telling her. Anyway, we will see what happens! Give me a prayer if you think about it! Hahahah. Pray that she wants my hot bod! (jk)

Have an awesome week.

PS - Listen to some Bonnie Prince Billy asap. He is way too good.

God is Love and Love is Real

This week has been interesting. I have been really sick the past couple of days, which is no fun. Not only does the physical part of being sick suck, but sitting around the house and doing nothing for 2 days straight really wears on me mentally as well. I came into work today, even though I am still not 100%, but hopefully I get through this soon. I watched the following movies over the past 3 days:

The Departed

Black Dahlia
Crank
Shawsank Redemption
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Silence of the Lambs
Jesus Camp (again)

In other news, my friends Chris and Thomas are in town from L.A., so I will be hanging with them all weekend. Good times will be had by all!

I hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day. I know a lot of people like to hate on this holiday, but I think it’s a good excuse to let your loved ones know how you feel about them.

damn liberals...

We are having a good debate over at the Strikethurman boards. Fun stuff! I am the biggest conservative ever, yet I am trying to spark debate by displaying both sides. Some people seem so afraid of confrontation!

Anyway, the job is going great. God has really blessed me. It is a great environment and I work hard.

We officially start recording this week. I am so excited. We are also gathering the content to launch a new strikethurman.com Where I assume we will be announcing my joining the band...haha. Its funny I have played 4 shows now and we still haven't made a public announcment. I don't really care in all honesty.

I am going to start praying and reading over my lunch breaks. It is going to be the perfect time for me to be by myself and really dig in. There is a cafe with a patio in our office building. No one ever goes on the patio, so it will be the perfect spot. YAY.

Emo moment:

I really want to find the girl I will marry. I know God has the right person and everything, but I am getting anxious...hah I honestly just want to love and care for someone.


Ok done.
